I see, I'll try to move it if possible. I recently joined BZPower like yesterday, so sorry for the mistake.

Hey guys, I just bought a 8693 Chirox on eBay and the front tape part that holds the cave decoration onto the box was half cutoff thus leaving the cave part hanging. I opened it up and usually, sets would come with a few extra black pins. I suspect it may not be new. However, it did not so I wonder two things: 1. If the set has been opened as the front tape part was cut off or if this was just something caused by shipping, etc. I realize that there may have not been extra parts with the Phantoka sets as there were none with the Mahri. 2. I question if it was new or not; the tape being half cutoff and no extra pins make me question. However, the instruction book was folded and I think that is the case with all the older Bionicle sets. I would strongly appreciate it if everyone contributed! I attached two pictures; the one with the hand is mine and the one without is how it should be for the box.

As for the best wave of Hero Factory, it's a hard pick between Breakout and Brain Attack. However, I would give it to Breakout by a very small margin because it was more relevant to the Hero Factory story. The TV animations were better, there were more sets released, it didn't exclude Stringer and Nex and it just made much more sense relative to Hero Factory. Nevertheless, I'd say Brain Attack did better in the sets department overall as they were much more complex (Jet Rocka and Dragon Bolt if you will). Following Breakout, every episode would have a little cliffhanger in the end which I didn't really like. For Breakout, it was the character in the end like Von Nebula or the Brain Creator clip. For Brain Attack, it was not all the brains were eliminated. For Invasion from Below, there was still an unhatched jumper on the Hero Pod. Even so, I still believe Breakout and Brain Attack take the overall win for the best wave of Hero Factory, the former coming out slightly ahead.
